Most families spend Thanksgiving morning sleeping in, reading the "Black Friday" ads in the newspapers, and stuffing a turkey. But...not the Bergstrom family...we go for an early morning run at the Tallahassee Turkey Trot. Here, Rick, Lynda, Melina, Auburn and I get ready for a road race.
Auburn and Melina with their friend Annabelle prior to the start of the 1 mile fun run.
Lynda and Melina were running the 1 mile together.
Lori and Neil made a very supportive rooting section.
Auburn and Annabelle are at the front when the race begins.
Auburn finished in just a little over 10 minutes.
Annabelle was a couple of minutes behind her.
Lynda and Melina came in a little under 14 minutes and were able to finish together.
Here are the proud participants in the fun run with their well deserved ribbons.
It looks like Neil just can't take all the excitement that comes along with race day. Could it be that come December, Savannah Lee (our next grandchild) will be a runner, also?
Dad and son getting ready to run the 5K.
There were about 3,000 runners in our race, some running a 5K, some a 10K, and for the brave, a 15K.
You've gotta look really hard, but believe it or not, Rick, his friend Deva, and I are in the middle of this mess.
Deva finished first out of the three of us.
Rick came in next.
Here Rick and Deva are celebrating their finish and I'm still running!
The "old man" stops his watch as he crosses the finish line.
Dad and son survived another run together. We used to run road races together when Rick was 11 and 12 years old. I never thought we would be continuing this tradition this much later in life.
It's so rewarding to see another generation of Bergstroms getting into the habit of running, not just for their health, but for the fun of a wholesome family activity.

Again, I'm highly impressed with all of your runners. Maybe you'll rub off on me via your blog?! :)
